This week undoubtedly a rewarding experience for us, teachers, because we had the opportunity to broaden our horizons regarding the teaching/learning process. I recommend it to all teachers. I am very grateful for everything. Cheers!

I took this course as a trainee in IDEC through the Erasmus+ programme. I could also see behind the scene preparation and witness the professionalism that showed in the course. As a wannabe teacher I could benefit from this course at many levels. At the general, by gaining some general pillars and good practices. At the specific level of CLIL lessons, I could not only get to know what it is, but also learn the essence that could give me skills to learn more in the future. At the social level it allowed me to get in touch with other teachers and learn from their experience, practices and, over all, networking.

I would recommend this course to everyone who wants to improve teaching skills, to explore CLIL's way of thinking and acting, to share the ideas, to meet new people and different culture. A GREAT EXPERIENCE!
